Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tools/virtio: remove smp_read_barrier_depends()

This gets rid of the last references to smp_read_barrier_depends()
 which for the kernel side was removed in v5.9. The serialization
required for Alpha is done inside READ_ONCE() instead of having
users deal with it. Simply use a full barrier, the architecture
does not have rmb in the first place.
